Any tips on caring for a dog with diabetes? What should I expect?

Hello and thank you in advance for anyone who responds! If anyone has experience or knowledge about caring for a diabetic animal, I'm told. On Monday my boyfriend 9 year old Lhasa Apso was diagnosed with diabetes. He is in insulin injections and a reduced calorie diet. My boyfriend is buy him a monkey blood sugar so you do not have to guess. I have a small problem with the dog gets hit, because they tend to faint around needles. When I get a shot at the doctor I am fine as long as my eyes are closed, but I do not think this will work well if I'm managing his insulin (lol). If anyone has this problem, I wonder how he overcame his fear of needles. I hope to get more and try to give her shots tomorrow (fingers crossed).

Hello, I'm not much advice on the fear of needles, but can help you "need" do "to the dog's life. There are important things to remember: If the dog did not eat, do not give insulin. Call your veterinary hospital first. If they are not accessible, call to an emergency hospital and consultations with them what the best approach would be. They are available 24 hours a day. They are there to alleviate their concerns. If you need to change the time of injection - consult your vet first to see what is better or have a friend or petsitter experienced help. If the dog seems lethargic or low side (laying and standing habits), vomiting, prolonged diarrhea or simply do not do anything right - Dont Give to insulin. Call a vet. hospital for further guidance. If you need to take the shot and you can not .... call from a veterinary hospital - even an emergency hospital. which will start you and maybe even did not pay anything! When you get the shot, take a before and after treatment. This will make it a positive experience. Pour yourself a glass of wine or eating chocolate before and after (your address too):) We recommend giving the shot in different locations to avoid the formation of scar tissue, but the dogs / cats are less sensitive in the back between the shoulder blades. This will be less painful and hopefully - will feel better too. Speaking of pain ... Insulin syringes are scarce. Our skin is very sensitive to the skin of dogs and there is very little trouble in delivering blows to human beings. Most dogs do not even know or care you give. But ... Most small breed dogs are hypersensitive (If the dog has not eaten much or all of their food and was sure the injection of an incentive to eat eat eat. .... At least Last but not Keep a bottle of Karo syrup on hand. If he / she becomes Hypoglycemic - which means you have a blood sugar. (This can happen when the injection and non-food given) show signs of weakness, lethargy, confusion, or worse delierum Senario - seizuring case or coma. If this happens and he / she can swollow, give small quantities of Karo syrup through a syringe or Turkey Baster work well. If you can not swollow, do not feed the syringe Karo syrup. Apply on the gums in the mouth. In both cases - contact your veterinarian as soon as possible! Oh .. and if out of town, I recommend that someone go home to care for him / her. Veterinary staff may be a personal interest to do this for you. In this way, your pet petsitter get a good education and be less stressed in their environment. Honestly, you want everything right!
